Brian is 51% done with Killer Germs

When I read these types of books, they always give me a new respect for how something so simple can be so deadly.

Brian is 85% done with NOS4A2

I am loving this! At first I was having a problem with his writing being too much like his father's, but now I can see the evolution of SK's writing to JH's. The overlapping multiple perspectives are perfect, the little nods to Mid World and his own works worlds add that sparkle of respect to his past (both real and fictional).

One more thing. Bing Partridge, I want to kick your ass.

It's getting good, but I see a little too much of his Dad's writing here.

Brian is 53% done with Exit Kingdom (Reapers, #2)

This is good, but not as good as the first book. Luckily, it is not a sequel. It has a few of the same characters as the first book and that is about it.

Brian is 45% done with The Reapers are the Angels (Reapers, #1)

This is a pretty good YA novel. At least I think it is a ya novel... Anyway, i like the pacing and the scene changes. Almost a surreal quality, but not quite.

It is no Invisible Monsters, but I am really enjoying the story.

I am enjoying the story, but it is not as engaging as I hoped.

Brian is 31% done with Godel's Incompleteness Theorems (Oxford Logic Guides)

Godel accomplished more when he was 25 (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G%C3%B6d...) than I ever will.

Brian is 43% done with Lord Foul's Bane (The Chronicles of Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever, #1)

This is the typical "this can't be real but i am the savior of the matrix and mid-world and middle earth and hobbits and stuff because i am the chosen one who accidentally raped some girl who helped me and i have anger issues" novel. It's ok.
